Intended Use

The neoClose device is intended to facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/ laparoscopic surgery.

Device Description

The neoClose device is intended to facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic surgery. There are two neoClose product codes, neoClose Hasson and neoClose Universal, each consisting of an AccuGuide and two AutoAnchors loaded onto two Drivers. The neoClose Hasson is designed to provide sealed anchoring of a laparoscopic trocar and suture placement for subsequent soft tissue approximation. The neoClose Universal is equivalent to the neoClose Hasson design in its method of soft tissue approximation but does not provide for sealed anchoring of a trocar. Soft tissue approximation is facilitated by delivering two AutoAnchors, through an AccuGuide with a Driver. The AutoAnchors and Drivers for both the neoClose Hasson and Universal are identical but the AccuGuides differ in construction. The Hasson AccuGuide features Suture Locks, a flexible Sleeve, and two Guide Channels while the Universal AccuGuide features a Thumb Grip and one Guide Channel.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the neoClose device, which is a suture passer for endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. However, the document does not contain the specific details required to answer your request about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, especially in the context of an AI/human reader study.

Here's what can be extracted and what information is missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as quantifiable metrics. The document broadly refers to "at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices."
  • Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Design Verification bench testing and an acute GLP Animal Study support the performance of the neoClose device and demonstrates that it is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices." No specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., tensile strength, closure time, success rate) are provided or compared against defined acceptance criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified, beyond mentioning "Design Verification bench testing and an acute GLP Animal Study." The country of origin for the animal study is not mentioned, nor is whether the data was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Not applicable. The studies mentioned (Design Verification bench testing and GLP Animal Study) do not involve human expert interpretation in the way an AI diagnostic device study would. The performance appears to be assessed via scientific and clinical endpoints in animal models and bench tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. See point 3.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Readers Improve With AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • No, an MRMC study was not done. This device is a surgical tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device. The documentation focuses on equivalence to a predicate device through bench and animal testing, not on human reader performance with or without AI.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For bench testing: Likely engineering specifications, physical measurements, and possibly simulated clinical conditions.
  • For the GLP Animal Study: Clinical and pathological observations in an animal model. The specific endpoints or "ground truth" (e.g., successful tissue approximation, absence of complications, healing outcomes) are not detailed.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning, so there is no training set in the AI sense.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. See point 8.

In summary: The provided 510(k) summary is for a physical surgical device and discusses its substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench and animal testing. It does not provide the kind of information requested regarding AI performance, human reader studies, or detailed acceptance criteria with quantitative results, as would be expected for an AI/ML-based diagnostic device.

Intended Use

The neoClose device is intended to facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/ laparoscopic surgery.

Summary of Technological Characteristics of Current Device Compared to the Predicate Device

The technical characteristics of the applicant device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s) with respect to indications for use, product design, materials, packaging, labeling and sterilization methods.

Support of Substantial Equivalence

neoSurgical has submitted information on indication for use, design and principle of operation, biocompatibility and performance characteristics to establish that the neoClose device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. A detailed justification for substantial equivalence was completed which includes a side-by-side comparison of the product attributes of the applicant device and predicate devices. Design Verification bench testing and a GLP Animal Study support the performance of the neoClose device and demonstrates that it is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

  • Intended Use . The neoClose components have the same intended use as the predicates.
  • . Physical Characteristics

There are no significant technological differences between the neoClose device and predicate devices affecting intended use or safety and effectiveness.

. Anatomical Sites

The neoClose device and its predicates may be utilized in the same anatomical site.

  • . Performance
    Design Verification bench testing and an acute GLP Animal Study support the use of the neoClose device and demonstrate that it is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Safety Characteristics .

The GLP Animal Study demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the neoClose and the primary predicate device, the Carter-Thomason CloseSure System®, are substantially equivalent.

The neoClose device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since it has the same intended use, does not raise new concerns regarding safety and effectiveness and is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use.
